16 Products to Help You Bring the Outdoors Inside

Decorative bamboo sticks can get expensive. (Who knew?) But these 3.5-foot tall river canes work just as well for dressing up any corner in your home. Each package comes with 10 canes, which is enough to fill a tall vase. Plus, each stick is naturally dyed, so you can be sure that no two will look the same. ($27.99, Walmart) 

We’re not sure which we love more: how real these eucalyptus leaves look, or how chic the stone-like pots are. Either way, this set of three faux plants is great for adding a hint of green to your desk, nightstand, or shelving unit — without needing to be watered or cared for. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Guilty. We first featured this shiitake mushroom log kit in one of our holiday gift guides, and we still can’t get enough. It’s the easiest way to grow your own shiitake mushrooms from home with no experience. Just soak the wooden log in water and store in a cool, dark place. After a few months, you’ll be able to see the fruits (sorry) of your labor. Plus, you can re-soak and re-harvest every six weeks or so. ($30, Uncommon Goods)

Whether you use them in your favorite vase, pinned to the wall, or as the stars of your next tablescape, these handcrafted dried flower bouquets are sure to get tons of compliments. Each bouquet contains the perfect mix of blooms and greenery. Pro tip: Be sure to open and spread the stems when they arrive, since they tend to lose volume during shipping. ($7.45+, Etsy) 

Need we say more? These hanging vines are combined with 200 LED lights that are water-resistant and controlled by a small remote. We especially love how customizable the whole setup is. Not only can you choose from five different types of faux plants, you can also change the lights from a warm white to cold white or multicolor. Plus, they have eight unique light modes you can switch between, like a slow glow or flashing, depending on the mood you’re trying to set. ($24.99, Etsy) 

If you love the mushroom aesthetic but you’re not really into growing your own, these colorful glass mushroom mini planters deserve a spot on your countertop or side table. They vary in shape and size but are large enough to hold water and a few of your favorite stems. The wooden stand it comes with has five small indentations so you won’t have to worry about your mushroom vases falling over. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Consider this your sign to finally add a statement wall to your home. This lush botanical peel-and-stick wallpaper is easy to install or reposition as you see fit. It leaves zero sticky residue and won’t rip up your wall paint, which makes it ideal if you’re renting (or don’t want to fully commit to a patterned wall just yet). If you’re not sure how many rolls you’ll need, don’t worry — the site will calculate how many you’ll need based on the dimensions of your room. ($49.98, Home Depot) 

We’ve talked about this lavender eucalyptus spray before, and we still can’t stop adding it to our carts. And the Four Seasons, Marriott, and Hyatt hotel spas seem to agree. This shower spray acts as a mood-setter and natural decongestant. All you have to do is spray a few times under a running shower head and enjoy.  ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Don’t be surprised if your guests think that this diffuser is just for decoration. It features a ceramic cover that will help you nail an earthy vibe. You can set it to run for four or eight hours after adding drops of your favorite pure essential oil to the water reservoir. Choose from lavender, terracotta, or black shades. ($123, Saks Fifth Avenue) 

Boost mindfulness with this tabletop zen garden. It comes with miniature tools and decorative pieces to help you to build the perfect landscape, including a wide-tooth rake, rocks, sand, a bridge statue, trees and animals, and a meditation Buddha. Rearrange the scene, rake the sand or rock garden, and feel your stress melt away. ($34.99, Etsy) 

What’s better than a plant you can’t kill? A plant you can cuddle with. This plushy, soft pillow is shaped like a succulent, only this one doesn’t require sunlight. Each petal is hand-sewn and gets a little wider and softer over time. Choose between dark green, light green, grass green, or multicolored — or add them all to your cart, we won’t tell. ($12.38, Walmart)

One of our favorite summer activities is the tried-and-true picnic, especially if there’s AC involved. This small table is designed to hold a bottle of wine, four stemmed glasses, and your fave snacks. It folds flat for easy storage, plus you can personalize it with your name, initials, or logos. Set it up on top of a cozy blanket, cue the nature sounds (playlist), and enjoy. ($38+, Etsy)

This tabletop Solo Stove is a great way to gather around a fire in the comfort of your own home, without making a mess. It uses a smokeless gel fuel that produces an open flame for up to three hours. It pops and crackles like a real bonfire, and makes the perfect s’mores every single time. The stove comes with one canister of fuel, but we love that you can buy refills without having to replace the entire stove. ($39.99, Solo Stove)  

This 6-foot tall tree is lush, handcrafted, and ready to zhuzh up any space. The leaves are large and deeply veined so they look natural, and the branches are flexible so you can adjust the overall shape to your liking. The plant comes with a small pot that can stand on its own or fit perfectly in any basket or floor pot. It’s a great decor hack if you want to add a pop of maintenance-free greenery to your home. ($179.99, World Market)

Golden hour can now be every hour with this sunset lamp projector. It has 15 different light effects and four unique modes (like flash, strobe, fade, or smooth) for you to choose from. The lamp can flip 180 degrees and rotate a full 360 degrees, so you can angle it to create the perfect ambience. We’re giving it extra points for its energy-saving light bulb.

These handmade candles are inspired by the creator’s own flower garden, and truthfully, we can’t decide if we love the roman lavender or apricot rose scents more. They’re an easy way to build an indoor “garden” of sorts, without having to pot, plant, or prune. They also make excellent housewarming gifts. ($50, Uncommon Goods)
